Linden-leaved
Lindenblättriger , in Hungary Hárslevelű , is an autochthonous Hungarian white wine variety . Except in Hungary, where it ranks fifth among the white wine grapes, it plays a certain role in Slovakia and the Republic of South Africa. Recently, however, vineyards have been planted with this vine again in many wine-growing regions, mainly to make sweet wines. In Burgenland , which belonged to Hungary until 1921, the Umathum winery has been making efforts since 2010 to popularize the formerly ancestral variety and thus to tie in with the old tradition. Many synonyms such as Lipovina or Frunza de Tei indicate a previously larger distribution area.
The leaves of the vine are somewhat similar to linden leaves, and the smell and aroma of the large, loose-berried grapes are somewhat reminiscent of linden trees. The medium-sized berries, which are highly susceptible to gray mold rot ( Botrytis cinerea ), produce mostly sweet, extract-rich and bouquet-rich wines of green-yellow to yellow-gold color, for which the region around Debrő on the southern slopes of the Mátra Mountains was known. Today, however, dry, relatively alcohol-rich wines of often remarkable quality are also produced in the region.
In addition to the Furmint , this vine is of particular importance as a carrier for the famous Tokaj .
